Mercury Removal from Flue Gas Streams
THE CHALLENGE
Mercury (Hg) is a lethal pollutant, highly toxic to humans, contaminating the aquatic food chain which is a food source for billions.
The global move towards pollution emission control and the international awareness to the problem and risks of Mercury have led environmental protection agencies worldwide to introduce stringent regulations and standards limiting mercury emissions. Emitting industries and processes are therefore required to reduce or even cut-out emission entirely.
The mercury control technologies commonly applied that are based on combinations of activated carbon injection (ACI), filters and chemical additives, suffer from major drawbacks - limited and variable efficiency, intensive CAPEX/OPEX and contaminated by-products that need to be recycled or disposed.
OUR INNOVATIVE SOLUTION
The 80RT-IL Innovative Technology
A new approach presenting a breakthrough in efficiency and environmental perspectives: ​
​
-
An innovative patented absorption process
​
-
Based on a unique absorbent liquid implemented in a widely-used pollution control engineering device (Wet Scrubber)
​
-
Simple regeneration process and mercury separation
​
Flue gas stream enters the scrubber in which a unique complex of Ionic liquid and an oxidant agent is circulated. The offered approach and structure enable short contact time between the flue gas and liquid and a very efficient reaction. The mercury is oxidized and binds as a stable complex in the liquid. The system removes all mercury forms, including elemental mercury. The liquid is regenerated through a simple process in which the mercury is separated and stabilized as HgS (which can be collected and safely disposed), while the absorbent liquid is regenerated and reused in the process.
